Through the lens of a camera, Ligonier, Pennsylvania, on Sunday morning resembled a beautiful snow-covered town one might see in a Hallmark Christmas movie.<\/p>\n
And while the Diamond and the surrounding borough were a picture that would make Currier and Ives proud, temperatures were in the teens, and the snow was piled up by the inch.<\/p>\n
Andrew Carr, who lives above his shop, Celtic Culture, on East Main Street, says shoveling is a great way to get exercise, but he is not sure if he wants to keep doing it all season long.<\/p>\n
“This winter is the first winter I thought, ‘I really should get somebody to shove my sidewalk, but I haven’t found them yet, so I am still working on that,” Carr said.<\/p>\n
And while others, like Carr, were out clearing roads and sidewalks to try and make some pathways for the day, across from Celtic Culture, at Tubmill Creek Provisions, co-owner John Goodish says that despite the weather, they opened at their usual time, right at 6 a.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But he says it was not without a bit of a winter odyssey.<\/p>\n
“So last night, I had to go up to Somerset and pick up my night baker and bring her down here to bake,” Goodish explained. “Then, this morning, I had to run down and pick up my day baker to bring her to work because part of the road where she comes from wasn’t plowed, and I have a four-wheel drive, so it wasn’t a problem. Then I had to take the night baker back home, and then I went and picked up our deli person, and then the latest was, I went and I picked up our dishwasher.”<\/p>\n
Goodish said he traveled all across the region without a single sip of coffee. \u00a0<\/p>\n
“I have had one cup of tea, that’s it.”<\/p>\n
It would seem that many small business owners in Ligonier share a creed akin to the United States Postal Service. No matter the snow, nor the gloom of night, these folks will weather the weather as best they can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Through the lens of a camera, Ligonier, Pennsylvania, on Sunday morning resembled a beautiful snow-covered town one might…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":349585,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[23,27900,3,7383,173386,21,19,22,20,25,24],"class_list":{"0":"post-349584","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-united-states","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-first-alert-weather","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-pittsburgh","12":"tag-snow-storm","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=349584"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349584\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/349585"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=349584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=349584"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=349584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
